The hope is that if convicted, he’s be ineligible to hold office as president. That is not a guarantee as there is no precedent one way or another. More lawsuits, more supreme court intervention, more unknowns.
None of the felonies in New York or Florida would prevent him from taking office. It’s POSSIBLE charges in the 1/6 or Georgia cases MAY, but we don’t know what those charges are yet, much less when the trial dates will be.
The election isn’t until November, 2024 and he wouldn’t take office until January, 2025.
Plenty of time for a conviction.

Primaries would be over by then tho. So we’re looking at possibly the Republican nominee being on trial just months before an election.
Yeah, it looks like about 1/2 the states have their primaries in March, with a few happening before that:

But the indictments are a pretty big club for the other candidates to beat him over the head with.
All they really need to do is re-play his sound bites from 2016 when he was saying you can’t trust someone who is under investigation…
Well, we’re past that in two cases now, moving from investigation to indictment and arrest…
Party conventions are in August. May is before august.
